I know my Bible tells me about FAITH & WORKS. James 2:20,24,26 BSB O foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is worthless? [24] As you can see, a man is justified by his deeds and not by faith alone. [26] As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead. James 2:17,20,26 KJV Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. [20] But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? [26] For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. John 9:4 KJV I (Jesus) must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. AFTER THE PRAYERS LET EVERYONE DO THE NEEDFUL. |
NiceLegs:This is an AFRICAN PHENOMENON and not peculiar to NIGERIA. This is one reason the continent is still very backward. |

May his soul rest in peace. The parents will never forgive themselves. I pray God visit,comfort & show them mercy. This story just reminds me of a family friend whose wife returned from her trading in the evening and she needed to get soft drink. Two of their children walked out to go together since it was dark. The devil struck when a driver lost control and crossed from his side of the road to run into these two young boys. The youngest died instantly but the eldest survived by God's grace. It was a sad season for us then... May tragedy not be our portion as we go through this year in Jesus' Name🙏 Draw close to God by walking with Jesus... |

NNPCL has become our banks who give interest of ₦6.00 and collect charges of ₦9.00 making account balance to dance between ₦980 & ₦990 for YEARS ![]() |
Danisaint112:This was the ONLY time the Bible reveals that men understood the languages being spoken during the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The Bible never mentioned anything like that again at subsequent baptism of the Holy Spirit. IF you're a Pentecostal you will be the loser for it to wait until someone tells you what another person is speaking in tongues. ONLY GOD CAN GIVE THAT REVELATION IF HE WANTS TO & IT MUST BE A REASON I strongly believe God revealed the disciples utterances to the men gathered because that was needed at that time of confusion about the nature of Christ and followers - Peter clearly explained the phenomenon to the audience leading to the conviction of 3000 men. John 4:23-24 KJV But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. [24] God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Romans 8:13-14 KJV For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. [14] For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. SPEAKING IN TONGUES IS A SUPERNATURAL LANGUAGE EXCLUSIVE TO THE HOLY SPIRIT. |
Antichristian2:By having the Holy Spirit inside her and leading her in the journey of obedience- another word for submission. |

ryloy:Many of these so-called milestone achievements are not measurable, cannot be verified, lack evidential human proofs, have further plunged the country into debts, have not impacted the lives of up to 20 million Nigerians out of the about 200 million people, and laughable to say the least. |
Myer:My Tecno Spark 30C battery is nothing to write home about. I don't know if anyone has issues with their battery. Within 2 months, the battery runs down unusually. |
True. Challenges are there to test our faith and become ladders for our all round growth. Matthew 7:24-27 KJV Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: [25] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. [26] And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: [27] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. Isaiah 43:2 BSB When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched; the flames will not set you ablaze. HAVING JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD IS THE SURE & ONLY FOUNDATION TO WITHSTAND THE CHALLENGES OF LIFE. |
Daniel058:OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE FRIDAY MAY 23RD 2025 THEME: LIFE IS A CHALLENGE MEMORISE: The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute. Proverbs 12:24 READ: Ecclesiastes 12:1-7 1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; 2 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain: 3 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened, 4 And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low; 5 Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets: 6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. 7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. MESSAGE An author once said, "Life is a challenge; meet it." I would even go further to say, "Rise above it." Nowadays, however, many young people are seeking a 'soft life'; there is nothing like a soft life. When I was in secondary school, my teacher taught me that every human being brought a pillow into this world, which must be used before we leave. If some people choose not to use the pillow when they are young, they will definitely use it when they are old. According to my teacher, that pillow represents hardship. If young people choose to put aside pleasures and go through the hardship of discipline to study, work hard, and nurture the right relationships in their youth, they will enjoy their old age. However, if they choose to party and play around in their youth, when they are old, they will either be lonely or have no choice but to work hard to make ends meet. What my teacher called a pillow is what the Bible calls 'the yoke' in Lamentations 3:27: It is good for a man that he bears the yoke in his youth. Note that the Scripture above does not say 'a yoke', but "the yoke'. In other words, every individual has a yoke, and it is good for that person to bear it in his or her youth. People who don't want to bear the yoke in their youth are lazy people. Some people are born into royal families, but they may never have the opportunity to rule if they are lazy. Who, then, is qualified to rule? Anyone who wants to rule must be ready for hard work. Those who want to rule must be ready to bear the yoke in their youth. If you want to live a soft life in your youth, then you are not ready to rule. Ruling is hard work, and it is only the diligent that will bear rule, as today's memory verse tells us. There is no easy road to success; the fact that a fellow was born by a successful person does not mean that the person will succeed in life. If you are a youth and you want to reign in life, shun laziness. You must also remember your creator in the days of your youth before the difficult days come (Ecclesiastes 12:1). You don't own your life; take up your cross and follow Jesus so that it can be well with you all the days of your life. KEY POINT Those who rule and reign in life are those who are diligent. BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: NEHEMIAH 8-10 HYMN 28: GUIDE ME, O THOU GREAT JEHOVAH Guide me, O thou great Jehovah pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but you are mighty; hold me with your powerful hand. Bread of heaven, bread of heaven, feed me now and evermore, feed me now and evermore. 2 Open now the crystal fountain, where the healing waters flow. Let the fire and cloudy pillar lead me all my journey through. Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer, ever be my strength and shield, ever be my strength and shield. 3 When I tread the verge of Jordan, bid my anxious fears subside. Death of death, and hell's Destruction, land me safe on Canaan's side. Songs of praises, songs of praises I will ever sing to you, I will ever sing to you. |

Waste management is a serious challenge in Africa. The situation is worsened by governments (local, state & federal) not seeing it as a major part of their governance. Nobody can stop people from generating waste which would continue to increase as population increases. Governments need to put in place structures for proper waste disposal by citizens. This is another means of revenue generation as well as business & job creation for a good number of people. |

Sodiq3: "It is good for Nigeria to show patriotism, that spirit of nationalism, participating in what is going on in your country, not just criticizing", the deputy speaker stated. The punitive mindset behind the bill. Whether Nigerians vote or not,.you people still have your way...Last election I was at polling station by 8am & left 8pm under the rain WITHOUT VOTING because ACCORDING to INEC officials who came by 1:30pm and didn't accredit up to 20 percent of the eligible voters...make I leave story... tactical disenfranchisement |
Omooba77:Good👍 I hope another FOI loads for the financial accountability of registration fees et al. |

SheikhMuniru:Don't they know ![]() |
isaaclech:Who is facing the hardships The masses or the political class The Nigerian political class is far far disconnected from whatever the masses are facing.Patience Jonathan just expressed her sincere position. Her husband's pensions as a former president runs into millions which is more than enough. So, Nigeria matter is not really their cup of tea for now ![]() |
Obakoolex:Good idea💡Please, mail this proposal to the minister. |
iwaeda:These UN bodies are just peddling lies about Nigeria because it sustains some people's wealth. Using the North to generalise the Nigeria's conditions is a norm. There are countries (sizes of states in Nigeria) in West Africa that are still 40 - 50 years BEHIND Nigeria in the matters of development...Places without electricity called cities...towns without hospitals...schools....where young people are seemingly hopeless BUT UN bodies won't go there... |
bazoodo:What's going on with Nigeria & her politicians Something is really happening. I just hope it's for the good of the land ![]() |

Genesis 16:7-12 BSB Now the angel of the LORD found Hagar by a spring of water in the desert—the spring along the road to Shur. [8] “Hagar, servant of Sarai,” he said, “where have you come from, and where are you going?” “I am running away from my mistress Sarai,” she replied. [9] So the angel of the LORD told her, “Return to your mistress and submit to her authority.” [10] Then the angel added, “I will greatly multiply your offspring so that they will be too numerous to count.” [11] The angel of the LORD proceeded: “Behold, you have conceived and will bear a son. And you shall name him Ishmael, for the LORD has heard your cry of affliction. [12] He will be a wild donkey of a man, and his hand will be against everyone, and everyone’s hand against him; he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.” Genesis 17:18,20-21 BSB And Abraham said to God, “O that Ishmael might live under Your blessing!” [20] As for Ishmael, I have heard you, and I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and multiply him greatly. He will become the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation. [21] But I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this time next year.” I hope the scriptures above answer someone's questions about Israel & their neighbours. |
